Chapter 226: Sacred Artifact



Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Heaven\'s Equal, was perhaps the most different but also the most perfect god in existence.

"I\'m not going to be that person, and if you think I\'m going to bother pulling his chin, think again," Phoebe muttered.

When all eyes turned to Nyx, she frowned and realised she was back in charge.

"Not again!" Nyx shouted, and as the others shook their heads, she stood up and started walking towards the door to leave the temple.

Sun Wukong\'s support was going to be good for everyone. Wukong\'s strength and the way he used his power was top-notch. He was not a mystical beast or a strange god. He was regarded as one of the best among the superior gods and one of the most worshipped people in the entire tower.

As it is said Sun Wukong, the Great Sage and Heaven\'s Equal.

-----

After James and Eve\'s long wait, Asgard had indeed managed to arrive on the scene with a large army.

It seemed that work had begun to melt the layers of ice scattered around and to store those that were too large to melt and use them later.

James, meanwhile, was still waiting for a message from Ariel; after all, he couldn\'t leave the floor. He could have left the floor, he could have tried to do something like Ariel had done earlier, going to the 20th floor and returning to the 5th floor, but there was a problem here.

Neither James nor Ariel had any knowledge of whether or not they could come back once they left the floor. After all, the number of Fallen Gods they encountered this time was not one, but two. One had managed to be killed after Ruby sacrificed herself by putting her into a deep sleep, but one had escaped.

And there was no help coming from the outside. After all, James had sent a message to Nyx, and the message had got through, and if no priest or priestess from the Church of Night had entered the 35th floor from the outside, that meant that James and Ariel\'s theory was correct.

Every entrance from the outside to the inside was blocked both for the gods and goddesses and those climbing the tower.

"Your Majesty Umbra," said an Asgardian warrior.

James felt awkward being called that, but he turned to the warrior, made a gesture for him to speak, and began to listen to what was being said:

"We have begun to receive messages from Asgard\'s territories in the empire, Black Magic is getting out of control. Rumour has it that this magic is very similar to the magic of the goddess Nyx. We wanted to point this out to you, as Nyx has also mastered black magic, and one of the lost artefacts may be here."

James frowned when he heard these words looked at the warrior carefully and asked, "Do you know how many cities or settlements you have received notifications from?"

When the Asgardian warrior shook his head and said, "Seven, sir." James turned to Eve in surprise and then asked, "I have to go now, will you be all right on your own, my lady?"

Eve shook her head and then said, "I\'m not alone." and pointed to the imperial soldiers and Asgardian warriors around.

James turned to the Asgardian warrior next to him after these words and then asked, "What is your name, young warrior?"

When the Asgardian warrior heard this question, he took a salute stance and then shouted, "My name is Yorhun sir, I am at your service!"

"Alright young Yorhun, gather some warriors, we have to go to the settlements, if an artefact is here, we must capture it and make it protected, if our enemies are there, we must make a massacre," James said after these words.

Yorhun nodded when he heard these words and in just five minutes a company of over twenty warriors was standing in front of James.

With that, James and the company of twenty-one men jumped on their horses and left the city, heading straight for one of the places Yorhun had pointed out on the map.

After almost half a day, the group approached the settlement, stopped at James\' command and dismounted.

There were almost three hundred metres between the group and the town, but there was only one reason for James to stop where they were:

More than enough dirty black magic was emanating from the town, almost as much as the Fallen God he had first encountered.

James turned to the warriors behind him and said, \'Be careful, this place is contaminated, just like Yorhun said, pay special attention to the people in the town, keep your guard up against their attacks, don\'t trust anyone else until I tell you to.\'

As soon as the Asgardian warriors heard James\' words, they started to advance, clinging to their shields and spears.

James was no exception. He held the holy sword Clarent tightly and removed one of the shields, even if it was weak, just in case.

As they slowly approached the town, they went inside and saw the townspeople watching them from in front of their houses.

It was a terrible sight. There was a green cloud on the floor of the town, stretching almost thirty centimetres across, it looked like poison, but it was so connected to the earth that it could not harm unless it was bent down and breathed into the body.

When James gave the order to the warriors to advance with his hand, the warriors took a battle formation as if they were waiting for this order.

Without waiting, James put 8 Sacred Fire into use, even if it would weigh on his body and this time the sacred sword Clarent began to be covered with black flames. Whatever was here needed to be destroyed outright, and the most powerful flame in hell could help him with that.

Shields covered James as he was surrounded by Asgardian warriors and the sound of armour shifting with each step became louder and louder.

James was constantly looking around, trying to realise what was happening. There was nothing he could see.

Knowing that this wasn\'t going to work, and knowing he had to take his chances, he gave an order to the group to cover themselves and be careful and then began to walk towards the area where he thought the black magic was high.

He kept his guard up, but his heart continued to beat despite his Calm Mind ability.

He was very, very sure that he was facing a great danger.

When he came to the area where the black magic was the highest, he noticed a sword stuck in the ground. This was indeed one of the lost artefacts because on the hilt of the sword was the emblem of the church of the night.

James thought that he could easily solve this problem, so he covered his whole body with black flames and entered the black magic layer directly.

He was aware of the weight on his body. However, he was also aware of the large amount of mana entering his body, everything was much, much easier since black magic did not harm James, but it was clear that this kind of darkness would not be unattended.

James reached for the sword and pulled it out of its impaled position, and with it, the danger he had been waiting for was unleashed:

"SKRIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

"KRUUUAGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"SCHRIEKKKK!!!"

With one scream after another, it started to rise from the hole where the sword was taken out, and then a huge passage emerged from the hole. Monsters started to come out of the passage in droves.

James instantly turned to the Asgardian warriors and shouted "GET ALL THE TOWN PEOPLE OUT!!!".

The Asgardian warriors and the townspeople hiding in their homes seemed to suddenly mobilise at these words. It was clear that no one was stupid enough to listen to a man shouting from within the dark flames.

James, on the other hand, took a few steps back after his shout and lifted his left leg without thinking, and he recovered 30 per cent of the mana he currently had in his body.

It was finally time to use that mesmerising ability he had gained.

"DESTRUCTION!!!" shouted James, and then he plunged his leg into the ground.

"CRUMBLE!"

As soon as a crashing sound reached the ears, the impact reached the earth.

A sudden, ear-splitting crack tore through the frozen air, so loud it seemed to shake the sky. It was like the explosion of a cannon, a thunder that tore the silence with a force that made the earth tremble. The earth itself groaned so loudly that even James himself could feel his ears ringing.

He seemed to have used too much mana in the ability.

With this impact, other sounds made the ears ring again:

"GROOOOOANN!!!"

"KRRRRRRACK!!!"

"SSSSHHHHH!!!"

It was as if there had been a volcanic eruption underground.

This was perhaps the most DEVASTATING spell James could cast at this moment.
